In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
When that day comes, the LORD will have Jerusalem's back completely. Even the weakest person there will have David-level strength and courage, and David's family line will be like having God himself leading the charge, like having the LORD's own angel right there in front of them.
God turns your weakest moment into your strongest when he's got your back.
